JACOBS, Janice (Pollard)

Janice (Pollard) Jacobs , 70, departed this life on Monday (June 18, 2007) following a brief illness. She will be reunited in heaven with her beloved husband of 48 years, Edward. She was born on October 30, 1936 in Montague, MA to James Pollard and Helen Field Pollard. Janice was lovingly cared for by her grandmother Nelly Field prior to moving to Hartford with her father in 1947. Janice and Eddie were married in 1956. Their marriage was truly special as they loved, played, beached at Watch Hill, and worked together at Jacobs Paint and Wallpaper in West Hartford. Family was most important to Janice and she was an incredibly loving mother to her two daughters, Nancy and Laurie, while raising them in Wethersfield and continued to share in their lives as they matured. Deeply sorrowed by her passing are Nancy Jacobs of West Hartford and Laurie and Michael Scinto of Farmington. Janice's grandchildren, Sam and Melissa Scinto, were extremely special to her and they will sorely feel this loss. She is also survived by her brother-in-law and business partner Raymond Jacobs, Sr. of Windsor and several nieces and nephews. Janice appreciated the special care she received at Hartford Hospital and her family is thankful for the kindness they shared. Calling hours will be on Thursday, June 21 from 4-7 p.m. at Farley-Sullivan Funeral Home, 34 Beaver Rd., Wethersfield. A memorial service in Christ Church Cathedral, 45 Church St., Hartford, will be conducted on Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m. Burial in Village Cemetery, Wethersfield, will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are requested to the Canon Clinton Jones Award at Christ Church Cathedral, 45 Church St., Hartford, CT 06103.
